Totemo stool by forme, ivory dedar bouclé upholstery, walnut legs

TOTEMO is an architectural stool designed and produced by FORME — a refined study in volume, balance, and material contrast. Conceived as a compact yet powerful presence, it embodies a language of tactile minimalism suited to contemporary interiors. The design is defined by a pure cylindrical body, generous and softly rounded, fully upholstered in luxurious ivory bouclé by Dedar Milano. The textured surface — rich, tactile, and subtly irregular — captures light with delicate tonal variations, enhancing the clarity of the form without ornament. With a diameter of 47 cm and a height of 48 cm, TOTEMO offers generous proportions and excellent comfort. The wider seat enhances usability, making it suitable both as an accent piece and as a fully functional stool. The upholstered volume rests on three sharply profiled legs crafted from solid ashwood, finished in a warm walnut stain. The three-point structure creates a precise geometric rhythm and elegant negative spaces between the supports, giving the piece visual lightness despite its mass. The contrast between the soft bouclé and the structured wooden base establishes a dialogue between comfort and architectural precision. Balanced from every perspective, TOTEMO feels grounded yet elevated — a piece that quietly anchors a room while maintaining a strong material identity. The model is also available with legs finished in a deep mahogany tone for a richer interpretation. TOTEMO is fully customizable and available COM (Customer’s Own Material) upon request, allowing bespoke upholstery solutions for residential or contract projects. In the case of COM, upholstery labour cost is included in the listed price with no additional surcharge. Please allow approximately 3 additional weeks for production when selecting a custom fabric. The stool can be purchased individually or as a pair. For larger quantities, production lead time is approximately 4–5 weeks.
